I have to learn the phonetic alphabet to be a pilot. This game made it easy: From here

Putting Non-YouTube Videos in MxTube

August 7, 2008

So, you have your Jailbroken iPod Touch or iPhone with 2.0 firmware running OpenSSH, and you have MxTube 1.5 or better, of course. What if you want one of those pesky videos that YouTube deletes all the time, like Paris Hilton For President? Or maybe you want a full movie on your iPod without having to sync to iTunes since you’re stuck in Linux Land. Well, here’s how.

Flash 10 for Linux Fixes Landmark Bug

July 4, 2008

The new July 2nd version of Flash Player 10 for Linux finally fixes the HTML overlay bug that we’ve been seeing for years. You can now see things on top of the flash elements on the page, like so: Get it now! Update After trying it with YouTube and TheSixtyOne, and seeing some lame bugs, I decided to go back to Flash 9 and face the music on overlays.

Sad display of humanity

June 7, 2008

It’s pretty sick when an old man is hit by a driver and they don’t even have the common courtesy to stop. Originally from here, but they took it down for some reason. It’s disturbing, but I see no reason to stop society from seeing itself.

Open Source Flash Players

May 26, 2008

I decided after reading this article, I decided to try out SWFDec instead of Adobe Flash Player. I shied away from Gnash early on since it didn’t support many newer features of Flash, and it didn’t work with YouTube. But, apparently, SWFDec works with YouTube (I just tried it), and according to the article above, my browser may use less resources now. We’ll see. Update Well, it turns out it crashes on my TheSixtyOne player on the right! Time to [...]

Meetup group size for popular candidates

December 2, 2007

I saw a post on Digg that caught my eye, and thought that this might be another way to gauge the amount of hardcore supporters each popular candidate has. I picked the following: Ron Paul Dennis Kucinich Barack Obama Hillary Clinton Rudy Giuliani Mitt Romney Mike Huckabee Fred Thompson John Edwards Mike Gravel John McCain Now, you would think that the number of hardcore supporters should correlate nicely with the number of voters turning out in the primaries since one [...]

Aligning with the Candidates

November 25, 2007

I took this test to see which current presidential candidates my views align with, and got some pretty surprising results: It’s based on this table of the candidates views on popular issues, and how strong your feelings are on each one. A good tool indeed, and it should be publicized as a guideline for voters by our caring media since we all want voters to make informed decisions… The graph led to this: I have no explanation for this picture.

Mr. T and Shatner play WOW

November 24, 2007

So, I saw these like a week ago, and then spent about 5 days getting the high-definition versions from the terrible World of Warcraft Bittorrent trackers. Finally, I have them. Shatner High Definition Version (8 MB) Mr. T High Definition Version (8 MB)

Tracking my workouts on cool charts

November 6, 2007

I decided today that I wanted to track my calories burned per day on a nice line graph. I did it, and I think I will continue. The total is automatically calculated by the PHP data source. This was made using my Mephisto Plugin for Open Flash Charts.
